Why you should go…
Cape Neddick Light, known to everyone as the Nubble, sits on a small rocky island about 100 yards off Cape Neddick Point in York. The island is closed to the public, so you take in the white tower and keeper's house from Sohier Park on the mainland, facing the Atlantic. The 41-foot brick-lined, cast-iron tower was first lit in 1879 and is one of the last eight lights in Maine that still have a Fresnel lens.
